The Mysterious Island

Five brave heroes, who escaped in a hot air balloon from captivity and found themselves on a deserted island, have to return to the roots of civilization and start cultivating the land like primitive people, fend off attacks from wild beasts and enemies. But they have the knowledge of modern science and a mysterious helper who always comes to the rescue when there seems to be no way out and the heroes are running out of strength.
